Overview

With over 35 million installed nodes, PROFIBUS is the world’s most successful communication technology used in industrial automation. Its growth and expansion is aided by the addition of PROFIBUS functionality to PowerQUICC® and QorIQ® communications processors.

Integration of PROFIBUS Layer 2 creates a single-chip solution with a direct connection to a RS485 transceiver, eliminating cost and board space associated with an external PROFIBUS ASIC

NXP® offers PROFIBUS Layer 2 firmware for PowerQUICC and QorIQ processors with a QUICC Engine® controller, eliminating the need for a costly PROFIBUS ASIC and leaving the processor core almost entirely free for processing

Getting Started With NXP PROFIBUS for PowerQUICC and QorIQ

NXP offers PROFIBUS Layer 2 firmware for PowerQUICC and QorIQ processors with a QUICC Engine controller. The PROFIBUS software supports both Master and Slave modes of operation and can be evaluated on the P1025 processor. Instructions for accessing the hardware evaluation platform and the software are given below.

PROFIBUS for PowerQUICC and QorIQ can be evaluated using TWR-P1025-KIT
